I've been doing a bit of reading about this, how's everyone going with it? Early days I know but I'm curious!

Have also been looking at Rogaine - crimsonshedemon, did you experience further hair loss when you first started using it? It seems quite common but the idea of it (even in the short term) kinda freaks me out.

regular cold pressed Castor oil has done wonders for my thinning crown... I used for six months and can hardly find those problem areas

since I'm running out of the regular cold pressed Castor oil I'm jumping on the JBCO band wagon... I ordered recently from jamaicanoils.com site

my edges haven't thickened as fast as my crown so I'm hoping to have better results with JBCO; I ordered the dark JBCO Sunny Isle brand

JULY 2010 FROM STRAIGHT TO KINKYdoing my own thing... the mention of salon's make me Jamila brand HENNA IS MY NEW LOVE! CO, Elucene brand moisturizing shampoo/ moisturizing conditioners, AVJ/ACV rinses are in my arsenal of staple products. My hair DOES like silicones... Organix Argan Oil is a keeper.

I got some from ebay as planned. Have been using it for a couple of weeks now so a bit early to see any results. It smells bad and I find it really hard to distribute as it's so thick, but am persevering.

I've been using JBCO for about a week, it's too soon to see results but I'm hoping to geat good results like so may others.

I have been applying daily to temple areas and sealed my ends with it after a wash and DC- a tablespoon was added to my DC for added moisture.

I thought that JBCO would feel really thick and tacky on my scalp but it doesn't; if my scalp likes a product it's a keeper.

How about regular castor oil used as a laxative found at walgreens? Anyone tried it?

The pictures speak the truth. I've been using it nearly everyday since April and my edges have grown in much thicker. Nearly right away too. I'm compulsive about taking pictures to track the progress. I apply a drop or two and massage it in daily. I've been slacking lately but seeing this thread reminded me to start it up again.

I want to try it in the OCM to clear up my skin. However, I did notice breakouts along my hairline, but that could be from my satin cap trapping my pores.

I have too heard a lot about Castor oil. It seems so thick. I have searched for a scalp oil that easily penetrates the scalp and doesn't leave a heavy, look to my hair. Applying it at night helps, esp around thinning edges, absorbs on its on time without much interruption-except a little tossing and turning. Check it out: it's by Exotic Allure, maker of Fast Grow Black Hair Vitamins. Hair Grow Oil

well ive been using JBCO for a lil over a month now and i must say I LOVE IT!!! i have 4a type hair and it makes my hair sssssooooooo soft!! it makes my curls shiny and bouncy i love it i apply it to my edges every night before i go to sleep and it has helped them grow back in. i used to relax my edges when i was transitioning because i hated how they looked natural so they broke off. but the castor oil has def helped them and i will continue to use it and recommend everyone with this problem to try it! the downside is the smell isnt very strong but after using it every night it gets annoying because i have to wash my pillow case and hair scarf more then i usually do and i can still smell it on them :

Thank you for posting this! A friend suggested using JBCO for thinning hair, and I just bought it. I will let you know how it works for me. BTW, for those who are having a hard time finding it...I bought it at an international FOOD grocery store. It was behind the counter. Just another thought if you can't find it in beauty stores.
